Round 2 of the 2017 Formula One season is in Shanghai, China this weekend. It’s a typical purpose built F1 track, unlike Melbourne, which was a street track. This will be the 14th time it’s held the Chinese Grand Prix and it has a nice mixture of fast and slow corners. The 5.451km Hermann Tilke […]

For 2017 we saw some big regulation changes– mostly around the chassis and tyre side. There are bigger wings, floors and tyres, all with the intention of making the cars faster and more dynamic on track. From what I saw at Melbourne, this has definitely worked. The cars are significantly quicker through fast and slow […]

Nico Rosberg is World Champion, how about that? Before 2016 started, you would have been hard pressed to find people who would have predicted this. Lewis Hamilton had been so dominant the year before and we all questioned Rosberg’s ability to reach the level needed to defeat his teammate. Here are a few things that […]

Lewis Hamilton did everything right in Austin, Texis on the weekend. He put his Mercedes on pole, got his start right and lead almost every lap on the way to his fiftieth win in Formula One. Unfortunately winning all the races for the rest of the year, will not be enough to win the title. The […]

The big news going into the USA grand prix this weekend is the surprise news that Nico Hulkenburg has jumped ship from Force India to Renault.

Wow, what a Grand Prix we saw on the weekend. The Malaysian GP was definitely the most pivotal of the year. It was a see-saw emotional rollercoaster for our two championship protagonists- Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. When Rosberg actually got spun round on the first corner by Sebastian Vettel I actually screamed “that’s the […]

The Malaysian Grand Prix gets held for the first time in October this year. It’s usually in March but the powers that be decided to put this year’s race next to the Singapore GP. A brave move in many ways, and I for one am looking to see how this works out in terms of […]

Following the German Grand Prix, its clear that the revival of two entities is complete. Firstly, Lewis Hamilton has been able to overturn a 43-point deficit into a 19-point lead over his teammate Nico Rosberg. Secondly, Red Bull who started the year with a seriously uncompetitive package has improved so much that they are clearly […]

We visit the tight and twisty Hungaroring this weekend. It’s the second slowest track after Monaco on the calendar, and it’s one where teams who may not have the fastest power unit can make a difference and steal a good result. Mclaren, I’m talking about you by the way. All the talk from the last […]
